Description
Why the Moon Travels is a haunting collection of twenty tales rooted in the oral tradition of the Irish Traveller community. These stories are woven together by Oein DeBhairduin, who collected them throughout his childhood and retold them in his own lyrical style.
The book beautifully blends the human world with the natural world, myth, folklore, kindness and cruelty, creating a powerful and deeply affecting collection that explores the power of story and love. With its unique blend of traditional tales and personal narrative, Why the Moon Travels is a rare and nourished collection of original gems.
Beautifully illustrated by Leanne McDonagh, this book won both the Judges' Special Award and the Eilís Dillon Award at the 2021 KPMG Children's Books Ireland Awards. A truly important book that will leave you with a deep sense of the power of story and love.
